GETTYSBURG. 

^^^HERE is no spot in the world connected with more niemo- 
4 1 ruble events than the thirty-five square nniles of ground 
^m which witnessed the terrible conflict between tlie Federal 
and Confederate troops on Wednesday, Thursday and 
Friday, July 1st, 2iid and 3rd, 18G3. The contest at (lettysburg 
marks the tlood-tide of the rebellion. The Southern cause received 
its death-blow on that field. The decisive victory infused new 
hope into Northern hearts and nerved their arms for the brilliant 
victories which culminated in the formal surrender of Lee at Ap- 
pomattox. Tlie Gettysburg of to-day no longer reeks with blood. 
The dead are buried; the widespreaddevastation of those few days 
has been repaired by the merciful hand of Time, and yet, every 
spot is hallowed with memories that can never die. Gettysburg 
will shine more and more resplendent, the central figure of the war 
of the Rebellion, the most conspicuous battlefield of ancient or mod- 
ern times. There is but one Gettysburg ! and it is without doubt 
the most picturesque and interesting point in America for the tour- 
ist, either soldier or citizen, to visit. 

The Geffi/sburg Battlefield Memorial Association has done a 
magnificent work, and a work whose importance perhaps, has 
hardly been estimated aright up to this time. Under the fostering 
care of so many of the states of the Union (18 states), the long ex- 
tended Federal battle lines have, under their management, been 
peopled by a multitude of imperishable shafts in granite and bronze. 
In the spring of 1879 the first memorial was erected, now there 
are hundreds and hundreds of them. They mark the spots where 
fell gallant officers; where regiments made a daring charge; they 
tell where each corps, division, brigade, regiment and battery was 
stationed on the three days of fearful struggle, each telling in elo- 
quent and pathetic story, the purchase price of national unity and 
lasting peace.

THE GETTYSBURG NATIONAL PARK. 

In 1895 the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association trans- 
ferred its grounds (about 850 acres), together with its beautiful 
monuments and memorials, erected by a grateful people, to the 
care and protection of the general government. The battlefield in

the hands of the United States has been made, (by act of Congress), 
a " National Park" ; a park onl^- in tlie sense of its l>eing restored 
to the condition in which it Mas at the time of tlie battle. A 
United States Battlefield CommisHiori has been appointed (8 mem- 
bers), nnder whose supervision there has been opened up magnifi- 
cent telford avenues along the Federal and Confederate battle lines; 
they are also marking (with Bronze Tablets) the position of every 
corps, division, brigade, regiment and battery in the Confederate 
Army, so that it is now possible for the tourist to visit the locations 
of the troops of both armies (via carriage with guide) and to in- 
telligently examine and understand them. Five iron and steel 
observatories ((>() and 7o feet high) have been erected upon difterent 
parts of the held and from them the entire battlefield can be seen; 
the eye can sweep over a landscape of magnificent scope and grand- 
eur. To one alive to the beauties of nature these views alone are 
sufficient to stir the mind and heart with sublime and inspiring 
thoughts. What then will be the feelings of those who can in 
imagination roll back the veil of years, and, standing on these 
towers, catch the inspiration of the past and in the march of mind 
rehearse the evolutions of that great struggle whose stage is so 
grandly spread before them. 

From every portion of this country come yearly thousands upon 
thousands of people to visit this sacred spot. Here veterans who 
wore the blue and the gray often mingle, not as they once did, in 
deadlj^ combat, but sadly remembering the past, they clasp hands 
in doing honor to the valiant and heroic dead who fell here. 

Gettysburg has therefore become, and is, the Mecca of American 
Reconciliation. 

"No north, no south, no alien now — 
Firm for one cause, one flag- we stand : 
Hearts melted into sacred flame— 
For God, and home, and native land." 



TO THE TOURIST. 

When you decide to visit Gettysburg, write or telegraph L. W. 
Minnigh, the Guide, who will take pleasure in meeting you at 
the Station, or Hotel, and will see to it that j'our visit to the Bat- 
tlefield will be such that you will never regret your trip to Gettys- 
burg. 

Or, if you have no previous arrangements and on your arrival in 
Gettysburg, if you desire an intelligent understanding of the bat- 
tle and field, secure a good guide and conveyance. If possible avoid

PRESS NOTES AND PERSONAL CRITIQUES. 

Those who have occasion to visit the battlefield of Gettysburg 
should secure the services of Luther W. Minnigh, the battlefield 
guide and lecturer and author of '' (iettysluirg— What They Did 
Here." Mr. Minnigh was born on the ground covered by the 
battlefield, was brought up and educated at Gettysburg, traversed 
the grounds daily for weeks after the battle, has devoted j^ears to 
a study of the engagements, and is a thorough iriasterof the whole 
subject. His descriptions of it are vivid and eloquent and free 
from the mannerisms of the ordinary guide. His study of the field 
has been supplemented by information received from numerous 
heroes of the great battle, whom he has accomyianied in their visits 
to the scene of their exploits. Mr. Minnigh's address is 16 W. Mid- 
dle St., or Lock Box 131, Gettysburg, Pa. — Army and Navy Jour- 
nal. 

Guide Minnigh has the true story of Gettysburg, and tells it with 
thrilling accuracy.— General H. W. Slocum. 

Your descriptions are certainly the most accurate that I have 
ever had the pleasure of hearing. — John B. Bachelder, The 
Historian of Gettysburg. 

Your descriptions are connected and graphic, free from irrelevant 
matter andentirely and singularly accurate. —General S. Wylie 
Crawford. 

You have a very clear and vivid conception of the battle of Get- 
tysburg, and of the movements of the troops throughout the entire 
engagement. Your statements are exceedingly accurate. — Gen- 
eral A. P. Martin. 

Mr. Minnigh's concise, lucid and graphic descriptions of the 
battle afforded verbal but vivid eye-pictures of the struggle. — New 
York Home Journal. 

Guide Minnigh's story of the battle was so graphic that we could 
almost see it. It was an object lesson in history, worth more than 
to study for a year or to read a library. — Poughkecpnie Eagle, N. Y. 

Minnigh, the guide, has everything pertaining to the battle at 
his fingers end, describing in the plainest terms the movements of 
both armies. — The Baltlmorean.

THE ARMIES. 

The battle of Gettysburg was fought between the Federal 
Army of the Potomac, commanded by General George G. Meade, 
and the Confederate "Army of Northern Virginia," commanded 
by * General Robert E. Lee. 

FORCES ENGAGED AT GETTYSBURG. 

The number of soldiers engaged in the battle will ever be a subject 
of controversy. The fairest approximation possibly is that of the 
Comte de Paris, which we use here as a fair statement. — The Army 
of the Potomac bore on its return, on July 1, 1863, 2,750 men who 
took no part in the battle, 7,000 Artillery, 10,500 Cavalry, and 
8.5,500 Infantry, a total of 105,750 men and 352 pieces of Artillery, 
but deducting tiie Heavy Artillery in reserve at Westminster, the 
guards on supply trains, the stragglers, &c., the effective force of 
Meade was froni 82,000 to 84,000 men, with 327 guns. 

The Army of Northern Virginia, on May 31, 1863, contained an 
effective force of 88.754 officers and men, of whom the following 
were under arms : General Staff and Intantrv, 59,420 men; Cavalry, 
10,292; Artillery, 4,756; a total of 74,468 men, with 206 pieces of 
Artillery. Deducting all the losses by various means, the Brigades 
and Regiments absent, stragglers, &c., and adding the conscripts 
and Brigades, the Army of Northern Virginia arrived on the Bat-

,^'HERE is probably no fea- 
\^ ture so well calculated to 
give a favorable impres- 
sion of a community as the 
presence of a first-class Hotel. 

The Hotel Wellington at this 
point beingr in all particulars a 
first-class house and very popu- 
lar with the traveling- public. 
It is most desirably and con- 
venientl3' located, being- within 
half a square of the de^jot. 

The equipments of the house 
are tasteful and comfortable, 
is provided with every modern 
convenience. The cuisine is 



fine and the service most excellent, while the bar of the Welling-ton is far-famed 
and universally admitted to be the best in the Cumberland Valley. Carlisle is one 
of the most beautiful cities in the Cumberland Valley— large open squares, wide 
shaded streets. Fine drives in every direction, throug-h the richest Agricultural 
District in the State. Within the limits are located the Government Indian 
School, with 900 students. Metzger College, Dickinson College and Law School, 
while churches of ever3' denomination dot the city. For the summer tourist who 
seeks the refreshing air of the country- and at the same time desires to enjoy the 
comforts of a first-class hotel, the Wellington stands pre-eminent. The bar is 
in charge of a skillful mixer, with everything at his command to cater to the 
most fastidious taste. Billiard Hall and Livery attached. Two coaches to and 
from depots free of charge. yV. D. DREHER, PROPRIETOR.

tlefield of Gettysburg with 5,000 men more than it had on May 31, 
1868 — or in the neighborhood of 80,000 men. Deducting tlie mount- 
ed men from this, Ia'c brought into tietual eomluil during tlie 
three days of July, from (58,000 to 6!>,000men and 250 guns, against 
Meade's 82,000 or 84,000 men and 800 guns collected on the held. 

Meade had, therefore, from 18,000 to 10,000 men more than his 
adversary, a superiority of nearly one-fourth, which, unfortunately 
for him, he was unable to turn to advantage.

The Confederates always kept their regiments filled up by con- 
scripts or recruits, while tlie Union Army maintained a number 
of skeleton organizations by sending out new men in new regi- 
ments, hence the noticeable discrepancy in the number of 
organizations. 

Twenty-nine States had troops in the two contending armies 
at Gettysburg, Maryland having commands in both.

Many of Lee's organizations made no rc'iurns or only a partial one.

THE NATIONAL CEMETERY. 

Federal bodies, of which 1,611 a 
The National Cemetery was dedicated November 19, 1803. The 
oration was delivered by Edward Everett, and an address by Pres- 
ident Lincoln. 
Lincoln's address at the dedication of the National Cemetery : 
" Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on 
this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated 
to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now, we are en- 
gaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any na- 
tion, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met 
on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a 
portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave 
their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and 
proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot 
dedicate— we cannot consecrate — we cannot hallow this ground. 
The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have conse- 
crated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world 
will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it never 
can forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to 
be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought 
here have thus far so noblj^ carried on. It is rather for us to be here 
dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these 
honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which 
they gave the last full measure of devotion. That we here highly 
resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, 
under God, shaU have a new birth of freedom; and that the gov- 
ernment of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not 
perish from the earth." 

The following are the states and the number of their dead: 



Maine, 104 

Michigan, 171 

New York, 867 

Pennsylvania, 534 

Massachusetts, 159 

Ohio, 131 

Indiana, 80 

Maryland, 22 

Illinois, 6 

West Virginia, 11 



Minnesota, 52 

Wisconsin, 73 

New Hampshire, 49 

New Jersey, 78 

Vermont, 61 

Connecticut, 22 

Rhode Island, 12 



U. S. Regulars, 138 

Unknown, 979 



Many of those who were killed or mortally wounded were re- 
moved by friends, the field being easily reached from the north. 
The above is the original number interred. The Confederate 

16 



dead were disinterred nine years after tlie battle, sent south, and 
were reinterred at Richmond and Wincliester, Virginia. 

The Gettysbiirs^ National monuinont was formally dcMlicated 
July 1, 1869. General Meade made an address, Governor Morton 
an oration, and Bayard Taylor contributed an ode. 

The splendid semi-colossal bronze statue of General Reynolds, 
which stands at the entrance to the National Cemetery, is made 
from cannon donated by the State of Pennsylvania. 

The New York State Monument was dedicated July 2, 1898. 

Statue of President Abraham Lincoln. (To be erected.)

THE COST OF WARS. 

Of wars within the last century, the cost has been as follows: 

France and Algeria, 1880-47, $190,000,000 

France and Austria, 1859, 225,000,000 

The European Revolution in 1848, .. 50,000,000 

Prussia and Austria, in 1866, 100,000,000 

Our Civil War, 1861-65, 8,700,000,000 

France and Mexico, 1866, 75,000,000 

Brazil and Paraguay, 1864-70, 240,000,000 

France and Germany, 1870-71, 1,586,000,000 



We here add the eloquent words of one who was most prominent 
in valiant defense of Gettysburg— General Hancock— he says: 

"The historian of the future who essays to tell the tale of Gettys- 
burg undertakes an onerous task, a high responsibility, a sacred 
trust. Above all things, justice and truth should dwell in his mind 
and heart. Then dipping his pen as it were in the crimson tide, 
the sunshine of Heaven lighting his page, giving 'honor to whom 
honor is due,' doing even justice to the splendid valor alike of 
friend and foe, he may tell the world how the rains descended in 
streams of fire, and thie floods came in billows of rebellion, and the 
wind blew in blasts of fraternal execration and beat upon the fab- 
ric of the Federal Union; and that it fell not, for resting on the 
rights and liberties of the people, it was founded upon a rock."

Mr. Minnigh's descriptions of the three days battles were so

nation to believe that the terrible combat which occurred on those 
July days of 1863, was again being bitterly waged. Mr. Minnigh's 
supply of anecdotes and incidents, gathered personally from those 
that figured in the fight, seemed inexhaustible, and a few hours 
spent with him at the various important points of the battleground 
were more instructive than the careful reading of many volumes 
which have been written about this important battle. — Philadel-
